The remains of sea organisms
Petroleum and natural gas form from the remains of microscopic sea organisms that have settled on the ocean floor over millions of years. The intense pressure and heat from the Earth's crust gradually transform these organic materials into hydrocarbons, which make up petroleum and natural gas. The process of decomposition and transformation is known as thermal maturation.
They started out as the remains of marine animals and plants.
natural gas- a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons located under the surface of the earth, often near petroleum deposits; used as a fuel.petroleum- liquid mixture of complex hydrocarbon compounds; used wisely as a fuel source.
A substance made from natural gas or petroleum is typically a hydrocarbon-based product such as gasoline, diesel, propane, or plastic. These substances are derived from the refining and processing of natural gas or crude oil.
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) contains either mostly propane, mostly butane, or a combination that is mostly propane and butane in an approximately 3-to-2 mixture. Propane is an alkane, C3H8. Butane is also an alkane, C4H10. A link can be found below.

By natural gas we most often mean the fossil fuel which is formed as the lightest fractions of petroleum. It is mostly methane, which also occurs as marsh gas.
Coal, petroleum and natural gas took millions of years to form. Which is why they are classed as non-renewable resources.
